In this paper, we study the evaluation of skyline queries with partially-ordered attributes. Because such attributes lack a total ordering, traditional index-based evaluation algo...
Consider a setting where nodes can vary their transmission power thereby changing the network topology, the goal of topology control is to reduce the transmission power while ensu...
In this paper, we propose an approach for efficient approximative RkNN search in arbitrary metric spaces where the value of k is specified at query time. Our method uses an approx...
Whole genome comparison based on gene order has become a popular approach in comparative genomics. An important task in this field is the detection of gene clusters, i.e. sets of g...
Many problems require minimally perturbing an initial state in order to repair some violated constraints. We consider two search spaces for exactly solving this minimal perturbatio...
